There are many businesses out there today that’s sole purpose is to make money and give nothing back to the community and there are other businesses like Wells Fargo who “continues to be one of America’s largest financial contributors to nonprofits. In 2009, we invested $202 million in 18,000 nonprofits nationwide” (https://www.wellsfargo.com/about/csr/charitable/where) One of the ways that they accomplish this is that they have neighborhoods managers that talk to the people. “Communities need money to grow and Wells Fargo’s Community Development Corporation manages the company’s investments in projects that promote long-term growth for low- and moderate-income communities.” (https://www.wellsfargo.com/about/csr/charitable/where)
Another one of these businesses is Home Depot. They have a special program called Team Depot. “Through Team Depot, The Home Depot’s associate-led volunteer program, associates work side-by-side to create life-long, meaningful relationships between the Company, our neighbors and our associates.”( http://www.homedepotfoundation.org/teamdepot/index.html)
We need more businesses like these to help out the less fortunate and people in need throughout the United States and for that matter throughout the world. If every company gave a little back the world would be a better place. There are so many people who need a helping hand.
